Ginger is used as a spice in many dishes, but it has been used for thousands of years as a traditional medicine. Traditionally, this simple root is used for treating ailments such as colds, nausea, arthritis, migraines, bloating, and hypertension. Some people even use it as an aphrodisiac (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4377061\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK92775\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey is the original sweetener.
